Christmas is always great, always. I love it beyond words. But I remember one of my least favourite Christmases. A few years ago, the Christmas before I was pregnant with Benjamin. It was lovely, don't get me wrong.
Billy and I had been married for over a
year, things had slowed down from all of that chaos. Things were good. And Christmas was good.
But it
was quiet. Too quiet. It wasn't spoken of, not even between Billy and I, but I
knew there were people missing. I knew that it was time to bring little ones
into this family of ours. I knew I didn't want another Christmas to go by
without them.
The following Christmas I was pregnant, and every Christmas
since has been....right. Complete. And it just gets better and better. This
year, Sawyer's first Christmas, was the best yet. So perfectly complete. I am so, so grateful to be surrounded by my boys, my Mom and Dad, Billy's family, everyone. During the holidays, and every other day of the year.
I love that your blog is back!!
ReplyDeleteHi Adriane! I hope you're well - it seems that you are! I was wondering if you're still painting as I likely have some work for you for some abstract paintings. Please let me know, Jill (House of Fraser Decor)
